The NHS put a mentally ill woman in a men’s psychiatric ward and she was raped within ONE HOUR. Do you understand now what a woman is and why that matters, Health Secretary @jamesmurray_ldn??

@BBCWorld Funny how BBC turns a story about the horrors young girls suffer into a story about the feelings of men. Totally on brand.

The BBC is running a story trying to pull at our heartstrings for starving fathers in Afghanistan who are ready to sell their young daughters just to buy food. One man weeps while holding his seven-year-old twins, saying he'll sell one to feed the rest. Another already sold his five-year-old. I don't care how hungry I get I would never do this. Not in a million years. These beautiful, innocent little girls are being treated like goods to be traded by the very men who are supposed to protect them. Instead, they're guarded by monsters. Poverty and hunger are horrific, but selling your own child isn't an "impossible choice" it's a moral failure. The BBC can frame it as tragic desperation all they want, but we should be disgusted and outraged for the daughters, not feeling sorry for the fathers willing to do this. These children deserve real protectors, not men who see them as a survival asset. Absolutely sickening

Ebola : cinq choses à savoir ce lundi 18 mai C'est un virus sorti de la forêt, jamais vu chez l'homme Le séquençage complet du génome, confirmé simultanément par l'INRB à Kinshasa et le laboratoire de Kampala, établit que la variante Bundibugyo qui circule en Ituri ne dérive ni de l'épidémie ougandaise de 2007 ni de celle d'Isiro en 2012. C'est un spillover direct, un passage de l'animal à l'homme depuis un réservoir forestier encore non identifié. Muyembe le dit clairement : l'infirmier de Rwampara, mort le 24 avril, n'est probablement pas le cas index. Quelqu'un d'autre a contracté le virus en forêt avant lui. Le test de terrain n'est pas conçu pour détecter ce virus Le GeneXpert, outil de diagnostic rapide très utilisé en RDC, est spécifique à la souche Zaïre. Face à Bundibugyo, il a donné un résultat négatif sur tous les échantillons testés, y compris ceux confirmés positifs par d'autres méthodes. C'est une limite technique du test, pas une erreur humaine. Elle a contribué au retard de détection, avec d'autres facteurs : des échantillons arrivés à Kinshasa en petite quantité et sans respect de la chaîne de froid, un premier test négatif à Bunia, et des équipes de terrain formées à chercher Zaïre en priorité. Bundibugyo ne circule que pour la troisième fois dans l'histoire. Il est rare. Et les outils disponibles ne sont pas tous calibrés pour le reconnaître. L'épidémie s'étend : 6 zones touchées En une seule journée, la cartographie de l'épidémie a changé. Butembo-Katwa au Nord-Kivu, Nyankunde en Ituri et Goma s'ajoutent aux zones déjà touchées. Six zones sont désormais officiellement affectées. Parmi les nouveaux cas confirmés figure un médecin américain, prélevé à Bunia. Le bilan des morts suspects est passé de 80 vendredi à 118 ce lundi selon le porte-parole du gouvernement Patrick Muyaya. Ni vaccin, ni traitement. Et les outils contre Zaïre ne servent probablement pas Bundibugyo ne dispose d'aucun vaccin ni traitement spécifique approuvé. Muyembe est explicite : être vacciné contre Ebola Zaïre ne protège probablement pas contre cette variante. Pas de preuve de protection croisée. Le traitement est palliatif. Le molnupiravir est évoqué comme piste possible, sous réserve d'autorisation de l'OMS. Des candidats vaccins et des molécules pourraient être proposés pour des essais cliniques d'ici fin mai ou début juin selon Muyembe. La réponse internationale se durcit, mais les moyens manquent sur le terrain L'OMS a déclaré une urgence de santé publique de portée internationale le 17 mai. L'UA, l'EAC, Africa CDC, la Banque mondiale sont mobilisés. Les États-Unis ont suspendu toutes leurs opérations de visas à Kampala. Mais à Mongwalu, un médecin de MSF dit qu'il manque de tout : médicaments, équipements de protection, épidémiologistes. Oxfam va plus loin : les coupes dans l'aide humanitaire ont affaibli les systèmes de surveillance et retardé la détection de l'épidémie de plusieurs semaines. C'est la tension centrale de cette crise. La mobilisation est réelle. Les moyens sur le terrain ne suivent pas encore. PL

@CP24 Your, “equality”, includes sex based discrimination against women and girls, homophobia, and the medicalization, mutilation, and sterilization of children. No thank you.

@vankayak turns off his comments to silence the women & girls he advocates discrimination against. He doesn’t care if women and girls are safe, valued, and included. #Misogynist #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #womenvote #WomenAreHumanToo

It’s as if the Left has decided all at once to stop pretending that they see women and girls as human beings. I never thought I’d see the day when the Right was a better choice for women.

Straight women need to start defending the lesbians. After all, lesbians have been fighting for the rights of straight women for a very long time. We require a bit of reciprocity now that it is lesbians who are under existential attack.

I am a gay left wing atheist. I live in Albo’s electorate. If you think it’s only “right wing bigots” who are angry about this court ruling, you are deluding yourself. Women and girls must have the right to say no to men, even if those men identify as women. If you can’t grant women and girls that dignity and safety, you aren’t as progressive or compassionate as you think you are.
